I now have all of my nutrition equipment and plan in place. Although the equipment and plan are for long races, I am going to practice that this weekend at my next race, the BMW Chattanooga Waterfront Triathlon. One goal for this race is to see that I have that working smoothly, and the other is, again, to speed up my transitions.
I have the following equipment to use: a holster for the Hammer flask on my bike, Saltstick pill dispensers for the Endurolyte capsules on the bike, a Fuel Belt race number belt with loops for a pill dispenser, also by Fuel Belt, and a holster for a Hammer flask to carry on the run. Although this race is only an Olympic distance race, I'm going to use the Perpetuem and Endurolytes as if it were a longer race.
I also intend to power my way through the transitions. I think a good bit of my slowness with these is that, unconsciously, I've been using them to recover. That's not what they're for. I have time goals for the race itself, which I'm not taking all that seriously as I intend to train heavily the day before the race. This isn't good race strategy, but I can't miss long workouts at this point. My "A" race of the year is only three months away now.
run = 5 x 1 min. hill repeats
